Additional Information

Ionbhur is masculine in Dwelly, masculine in Wentworth (an t-Ionbhur for the Inver of Erradale). The form however, appears to be feminine for the Black Isle Inver, as corroborated by Robertson, W. J. Watson and S. Watson. MacKinnon says this variation is because inbhir was a neuter word before the gender dropped from Gaelic. (Scotsman November 30th p.7).
